ROCK AND ROLL DOCTOR
(Lowell George / Fred Martin)
As recorded by Little Feat on “Feats Don’t Fail Me Now,” 1974.

There was a woman in Georgia didn't feel just right.
She had fever all day and chills at night.
Now things got worse, yes, a serious bind.
At times like this, it takes a man with such style I cannot often find:
A doctor of the heart and a doctor of mind.

If you like country with a boogie beat,
He's the man to meet.
If you like the sound of shufflin' feet,
He can't be beat.
If you wanna feel real nice,
Just ask the rock and roll doctor's advice.

It's just a country town, but his patients come
From Mobile to Moline, from miles around:
Nagodoches to New Orleans,
In beat-up old cars or in limousines,
To meet the doctor of soul; he's got his very own thing.

Two degrees in be-bop, a PhD in swing.
He's the master of rhythm; he's a rock and roll king.

If you like country with a boogie beat,
He's the man to meet. (He's the man to meet.)
If you like the sound of shufflin' feet,
He can't be beat. (I say he can't be beat.)
If you...
If you wanna...
If you wanna feel real nice,
Just ask the rock and roll doctor's advice.
